The government has announced a 50% toll discount for motorists travelling on 6 and 7 November 2026 in conjunction with the upcoming Deepavali celebration. The discount will take effect from midnight on Friday and remain in place until 11:59pm on Saturday.

The discount applies to Class 1 private vehicles at all toll plazas nationwide, as well as Class 2 vehicles travelling on the Penang Bridge. However, it excludes the Sultan Iskandar Building toll plaza along the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and the Tanjung Kupang toll plaza on the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link (Linkedua).

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the initiative is expected to involve RM20.11 million in compensation payments to participating highway concessionaires. The amount will be borne by the government, subject to verification of traffic data. Nanta adds that the Works Ministry, through the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), will coordinate the implementation with participating highway concessionaires to ensure eligible motorists can enjoy the discount.
